[Endoscopic subfascial vein dissection]

Endoscopic subfascial dissection is an effective method for the interruption of incompetent perforating veins. From 15th October to 15th December of 1995 11 patients underwent endoscopic subfascial sectioning. It is the first time to apply this procedure in Hungary. A venous ulcer was found in 5 patients. Endoscopic sectioning supplemented by extensive fasciotomy, without any substantial complication. The method is recommended due to its reduced invasiveness and fair results.
